A Resident Alien.

He knows and follows the rules - and he is well aware of the fact that he is not an American.

I think - MOST Resident Aliens (aka Green Card Holders) are naturally working towards citizenship. They are ready, willing and able to follow the rules.

I think - perhaps - the Resident Aliens are aok with the way the system is today. I.E. After I take the oath I can register to vote, then vote.


I also wonder -does NYC now have to have entirely separate elections for their city offices and initiatives? How would we prevent a NYC resident from voting in a state wide or National election if there were not.


And no one can call me a 'Nativist'. I don't get the path to citizenship thing because I'm trying to get my EU Passport, health care, etc. etc. I'm up here trying to bolt from this place!
